Le profil gracieux du pont de la Confederation mystifie le voyageur. Concu pour durer 100 ans, le plus long pont au monde au-dessus d'une mer glacee est un defi d'ingenierie qui a ete releve par les meilleurs esprits techniquees de l'heure et qui a pousse la technologie canadienne aux primiers rangs du genie civil en eaux glaciales.

Entre-temps, le pont de la Confederation, qui s'etire en un "S" allonge au-dessus des eaux blues de detroit de Northumberland, est certes une raison de plus our attirer les voyageurs cenus de loins pour "venir houer dans mon ile."
